Heaven help us

By Desiree | Published February 12, 2013

We're gonna have an official teenager in our midst very, very soon. GAH!! Oh, sure we've been getting the tween attitude for a while now but my Honey bunny is officially turning teen in less than 3 days. You know what scares me about this whole situation, beyond the typical teenagery stuff, she has internet [...]

By Desiree | Published October 25, 2012

ME! I win! I win the ‘Most Hateful Mom of the World’ award. How did I win? What did I win? How did you not know that there was even such a contest?! To start, how did I win? I won because I’m the meanest, most horrible mom. What did I win? I won a [...]

Glimpse into the future

By Desiree | Published August 20, 2012

**Note: This post was written back in April! I found it in draft mode & finally finished it. Busy much?! The sentiment remain true regardless of the date.** I've been given a glimpse into my future. Yes, it's true. “How?”, you may ask. And no, I didn't go see a psychic or some such thing. [...]

Married with children

By Desiree | Published March 3, 2011

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I don’t want to rush or wish these years away. However, there is a part of me that can’t wait till my gremlins are grown up and away at college. Why? Because being married and being married with children is NOT the same thing. I’m sure [...]

Elf on the shelf

By Desiree | Published December 7, 2010

You see this innocent looking elf sitting so benignly on the shelf? Yeah, it’s a huge thorn in my side! Why? You may ask. Because it is just ONE MORE THING I have to remember in the month of December in addition to the dozen birthdays and two dozen Christmas gifts I have to remember [...]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

By Desiree | Published October 31, 2010

I found out again while on this trip to China & Singapore, absence makes the heart grow fonder also applies to my children. I guess maybe it applies even more so to my children. We were gone for literally 9 days and by the 9th day I was so ready to see my gremlins immediately [...]

What is it inside that sparks the jealousy and desire to steal parental attention?And why does it happen even when the parents try to provide equal attention to both children?What is inside one child [...]

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle or more like reuse, recycle and reuse again

By Desiree | Published January 11, 2010

The title of this post might lead you to believe that I’m gonna discuss how to be good to planet Earth. But you’d be WRONG! I don’t really care about the planet. I kid, I kid. I care a little. Ok, so really this is an idea that I picked up from Enna’s blog and [...]

What? Wait?! What did you say?

By Desiree | Published December 28, 2009

So Christmas was last week, as I’m sure you all recall. Santa brought us a wii, wii fit & rock band ~all in all a great score of gifts as far as I’m concerned. There’s another story in there but I don’t have time to go into it all right now. Perhaps at another time. [...]

Random Tandem

By Desiree | Published March 24, 2009

I don’t know what the hell the title means, either. I just felt like rhyming I guess. Because tandem by definition means: one following or behind the other and that doesn’t have anything to do with this post. So moving on now… My “baby” turned 4 yrs old yesterday and I was all set to [...]
